Bertazzoni Oven/Range Error Code E3
Oven ignition failure
Common Causes
- 1Weak or failed oven glow-bar igniter
- 2Gas supply turned off or restricted
- 3Gas safety valve not opening
- 4Failed oven flame sensor
Gas ignition faults involve live gas — glow-bar, flame-sensor and safety-valve work on a gas oven is a technician job.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Watch the oven igniter at bake start — a dim orange glow that never lights the burner means a failing igniter
- 2
A healthy glow-bar igniter glows bright and lights the burner within seconds
- 3
Confirm the gas supply to the range is on and the other burners light
- 4
If the igniter glows but no flame appears, the gas safety valve may not be opening
- 5
A failed flame sensor can also lock out ignition even when gas and igniter are good
Pro Diagnostic Tip
E3 is an oven ignition failure — the most common cause is a weak glow-bar igniter that still draws current but no longer gets hot enough to open the gas safety valve. Bertazzoni uses cascading error logic, so a sensor fault can be logged alongside E3; verify the ignition hardware directly.
